<p>how hard is it to get employed after you finish engineering major?</p>
<p>Maybe it depends on where you live and if you are willing to move. Every single person in my son’s graduating class was either employed before graduation or had grad school plans.</p>
<p>If you do decently well, it is easy to get employed. Pretty much any engineering graduate can get some kind of a job. To land a good job, however, requires a bit more effort.</p>
<p>im still unemployed after 6 months due to my horrible gpa.</p>
<p>
If you don’t mind, please define “horrible”</p>
<p>he probably means sub-3.0</p>
<p>
My GPA was 2.8 and I didn’t have any problem finding a job…
Just make it up with stellar internship, problem solved.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>bare bone minimum requirements to get a degree</p>
<p>I assume 2.0? That’s definitely horrible.</p>
<p>I’d like to thank everyone for your help. that totally cleared everything up. my dad was telling me not to be an engineer because it’ll be hard to find a job or career in this field, and that my sure choice would be if i go to medical or law school.</p>
<p>If you’re only looking at job security, which isn’t wise, then being a doctor is a good choice. Anybody that graduates from any medical school in the United States will find it easy to obtain gainful employment for the rest of their life. Law is a different story - really only super secure if you’ve graduated from a top 14 law school. Graduates from third tier law schools often find that unless they’re a standout student on the law review, their degree is worthless. </p>
<p>However, if you graduate from an ABET accredited engineering program, or one that otherwise has a decent reputation, with better than a 3.0, you’ll definitely be able to find a job.</p>
<p>Ideally you’d pick a career that you will enjoy and that meshes well with your personality, likes and dislikes. Going for a lot of schooling (medical, law) or getting run through the ringer in 4 or 5 years (engineering) to go into a job you hate probably isn’t worth the money that you’ll make in the long run.</p>
<p>Do what you enjoy not just what pays well. Afterall, you’ll be spending the majority of your waking hours in that profession.</p>
<p>i think i would enjoy being a doctor for surgery, i dont think i would enjoy the hard all nighter for medical school though.should i still go for it?</p>
<p>How much do you like coffee?</p>
